How We Do it

Northside Neighborhood Plan

Neighborhood plans are the road map to help residents and neighborhood leaders identify where the neigborhoods should go in the future. The 2018 Northside Neighborhood plan has updated recommendations, goals and short term actions.

At three community meetings residents defined immediate actions for a specific corridor area called the Northside Cultural Business District. This plan was adopted into the Master Plan.
